Default How to remove Catback without cutting?

I was just wondering how I can remove my TSP Catback without cutting it the guy at the exhuast shop decided to weld it up and I want it to retain its resale value.

I have access to a lift.

unbolt it from the y pipe, maybe you'd have to cut it at the welds? or if you want to keep it in one piece, drop the rear end and maybe it will come over that out the back?

Yeah I thought about cutting it at the welds but its impossible to get to becuz its over the axle....I wonder if I just unbolted the struts if that would make the rereand drop enough?

Just cut it and get someone with welding skills to add a nice flange, ball joint, or v-band.
